Born 18 April 1958 at Bridgetown, St Michael, Barbados Died 4 November 1999 at Bridgetown, St Michael, Barbados
Malcolm Marshall was one of the finest exponents of fast bowling the game has seen. A shortish man with a whippy action he had great command of pace, bounce, swing and seam. He was very quick to spot and exploit a batsman’s weakness. In 1984 in England he took 35 wickets at an average of 12.65 in the Test series, including a spell of 7-53 at Leeds when he bowled with his left-arm in plaster having broken his thumb in the first innings.
His Test bowling average of 20.94 is one of the lowest on record. He played county cricket for many years for Hampshire and in 1982 he took 134 wickets in the first-class season at an average of 15.73. A capable lower-order batsman, he scored seven first-class centuries. He coached West Indies and Hampshire in retirement, but died tragically young of colon cancer.
